Tools

Cross-platform shell built around structured data: pipelines pass tables instead of plain text, and you can open and query JSON, CSV, TOML and more directly. Default builds include nu --mcp, which serves it to agents as an MCP server.

Send files and folders between any two computers with one command: end-to-end encryption (PAKE), direct peer-to-peer with relay fallback, resumable transfers and proxy support, with no server setup or port forwarding.

Converts PDFs, images, PPTX, DOCX, XLSX, EPUB and more into Markdown, JSON or HTML, preserving tables, formulas and layout, with optional LLM help for higher accuracy. Needs Python 3.10+ and PyTorch; large-scale commercial use of the model weights needs a paid license.

Official Anthropic plugin that reads local session logs in ~/.claude/projects and generates an interactive HTML usage report covering tokens, cache hit rate, subagents, skills and the most expensive prompts, with optimization tips. Needs Node.js.

Static analysis for shell scripts: flags syntax errors and common bash/sh pitfalls such as quoting and variable expansion, with suggested fixes. Good for checking agent-generated scripts and easy to add to CI.

A smarter cd that remembers your directories, ranking them by frequency and recency so you can jump with a fragment of the name. Add zoxide init to your shell config after installing.

Designs and builds MCP servers: first picks a deployment model among remote HTTP, MCPB bundles and local stdio, then guides tool design, auth and in-chat interactive components. Maintained by Anthropic.

HashiCorp's official Terraform plugin: runs the Terraform MCP Server in Docker against the Terraform Registry and HCP Terraform API to look up provider and module docs and help write IaC. Needs Docker; TFE_TOKEN is optional.

Community skill collection in GitHub's official repo: 400+ skills following the Agent Skills spec, covering codebase onboarding, testing, cloud and DevOps, agent security and more. Install individual skills with gh skills install.

Connects Claude Code to the Pyright language server for static type checking and code intelligence in Python. Install pyright first with npm, pip or pipx. Official Anthropic plugin.

Scans your codebase and recommends the best hooks, skills, MCP servers, subagents and slash commands by category. Analysis only, no file changes; a quick way to set up Claude Code for a project. Official Anthropic plugin.

Creates or improves Agent Skills from scratch: writes eval cases to test them, runs benchmarks with variance analysis, and tunes descriptions for more accurate triggering. Maintained by Anthropic.

Connects Claude Code to gopls, Go's official language server, for code intelligence, refactoring and analysis. Install gopls with go install and add Go's bin directory to PATH first. Official Anthropic plugin.

Anthropic's official plugin marketplace, built into Claude Code by default, with 300+ official and partner plugins for development, security, design and office collaboration. Browse and install with /plugin.

Connects GitHub's official remote MCP server to manage issues and PRs, review code, search repos and call the GitHub API from Claude Code. Requires GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN.

Connects GitLab's official remote MCP server (beta) so Claude can work with repos, merge requests, CI/CD pipelines, issues and wikis on GitLab.com. MCP access must be enabled on the top-level group, with browser OAuth. In Anthropic's official plugin marketplace.

Browser automation MCP server open-sourced by ByteDance in the UI-TARS-desktop repo: drives pages through Puppeteer accessibility data with an optional vision mode, running locally over stdio or remotely over SSE or Streamable HTTP.

ByteDance's open-source multimodal agent CLI: operates browsers via vision or the DOM and calls terminal, file and MCP tools to complete tasks, with a Web UI and headless server mode. Needs Node.js 22+ and a model API key.

All-in-one security scanner for container images, filesystems, Git repos and Kubernetes clusters: finds known vulnerabilities, IaC misconfigurations, leaked secrets and software licenses, and generates SBOMs. Open source, maintained by Aqua Security.

Define multi-container apps in compose.yaml and bring up services, databases, caches and the rest with one docker compose up, handy for agents setting up local dev and test dependencies. Maintained by Docker; included with Docker Desktop on macOS.

Detects your CPU, memory and GPU and scores open models on whether they run, speed, quality and context, then works with local runtimes like Ollama, llama.cpp and MLX to download and benchmark them. recommend --json gives agent-friendly output.

Local model gateway that routes requests from Claude Code, Codex and other coding agents to providers like DeepSeek, Kimi, Gemini and OpenRouter, with failover, rule-based routing and request logs. Bring your own API keys.

Alibaba's open-source Java production diagnostics tool: inspect method arguments and timing, threads and GC, class loading and decompiled code, and generate flame graphs without changing code or restarting the JVM. Supports JDK 8+ via an interactive CLI.

Headless browser written from scratch in Zig for AI agents and automation, using less memory and running faster than headless Chrome in official benchmarks. fetch turns pages into Markdown, and it can serve CDP or MCP. Telemetry is on by default (an env var disables it); Windows needs WSL.
